The yoga teacher training with Amber Melendy was such an amazing, life enhancing experience for me. It was so much more than just practicing yoga poses or breathing techniques. I learned how to truly connect with all of the layers of myself. Never before have I gone this deep or connected with others so deeply. Amber taught us how to process emotions, how to release, and how to forgive. She taught us how to strengthen our energies, believe in ourselves, and open our hearts to both giving and receiving love and abundance. I learned so much about myself from this experience and have become a much happier, stronger, more peaceful, more aware version of myself. My life has been forever changed and I will forever be connected to the wonderful people I met here.

"I have received so much more than I could ever have anticipated in taking Shine On Yoga's Teacher Training with Amber Melendy-and I'm not speaking merely of the superb anusara-influenced asana training; or the deep physiological understanding of the possibilities of healing inherent in the practice; or the philosophical synthesis of Traditional Yogic, Tantric, and Shamanic philosophies; or the emotional growth that has (inevitably) accompanied these experiential teachings. This barely scratches the surface! Amber has the genius to integrate guest instructors who have assisted her in presenting a comprehensive array of approaches to understanding, and working with, the body and energy system as practice becomes self-healing, heart-opening becomes trauma release and recovery, and internal realization becomes volitional self-evolution. In this training we have expanded our minds and deepened our understandings with presentations on Nutrition; Alexander Technique and Body Dialogues; Somato-Respiratory Integration; NLP-based positive Communication Techniques; Health Rhythms Group Empowerment Drumming, and more and more. And finally, Amber has drawn together a diverse, talented and truly heartful medley of trainees who each have so much to offer that this experience has been honestly life-changing in myriad ways. I walk in gratitude at inclusion in this transformation!"

?Shine On has been absolutely instrumental in my personal growth and interior expansion. I've been shown the true expression of Yoga, a Union. I've begun to blossom in understanding the intrinsic unity that can be found within this body and it's loving relationship with this mind, and through this, the extensionality of the Self to include all beings in this Ocean of We.

In facing all my of ignorance and pain, not alone but with a community and family that supports it's self on this mutual intention, I am and we are re~discovering the rest of our selves. Reflecting on this leaves nothing but gratitude and projecting into where it will lead leaves nothing but joy.

Amber's yoga teacher training program is the most influential and life-changing program I've ever experienced. Her dedication to connect with each person ensures they will receive the most fulfilling, and well-rounded yoga training possible. Going beyond the typical yoga teacher training programs available in the U.S., Amber's program focuses on asana anatomy, yoga philosophy and personal awakening. Each student walks away feeling empowered to teach from an authentic place. I learned more about myself, grew as a person, became more accepting of myself and others, and have become more self-actualized as a result of her teachings. I highly recommend the program to anyone looking to understand yoga and their self on a deeper level.

It really is a life changing experience you will not regret!"~Mary Kathryn

I absolutely loved my yoga teacher training with Amber Melendy. I learned so much about alignment, chakras, and energy that I use in my classes now; but, more importantly, I learned so much more about myself: my body, my limits/fears, and my spirit. I found a beautiful family. I found peace, love, and acceptance right when I needed it. I wouldn't have changed that experience for anything.
